After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 176: Chapter 176 Preparing for School Opening

Cheng Guomin wasn’t stupid. Zhao Haishuang’s unusual behavior made him think something had happened.

"What’s wrong? Are you still not feeling better, or is there something else wrong with your body?"

He walked up, grabbed Zhao Haishuang’s shoulders, and tried to turn her around to take a closer look.

Zhao Haishuang kept her hands over her face.

"I’m fine. Let go of me. I want to go lie down in my room for a while."

"If you’re fine, why are you covering your face? What’s wrong with your face?"

As Cheng Guomin spoke, he reached out to pull Zhao Haishuang’s hands away.

At first, Zhao Haishuang resisted adamantly, but Cheng Guomin was quite stubborn himself and insisted on seeing what was going on.

Finally, Zhao Haishuang, cornered, had no choice but to take her hands away.

"Fine, if you want to look, then look!"

When Cheng Guomin saw Zhao Haishuang’s face, he gasped audibly.

That face—there wasn’t a trace of the previous beauty left. It was so old and worn. She even looked far older than he did.

Was this what Zhao Haishuang looked like without makeup?

He realized that, at some point, the version of her he had always seen was only her made-up appearance.

So refined and radiant, so gentle and elegant.

But now, this old and unattractive woman...

Cheng Guomin couldn’t connect her current appearance with the Zhao Haishuang in his memories.

Zhao Haishuang clearly saw the shock in Cheng Guomin’s eyes.

Unable to hold it in, she burst into tears, "My face is ruined!"

She pushed Cheng Guomin away and stormed back into her room.

At that moment, she was even more devastated than when she first discovered her face was ruined.

Because Cheng Guomin had seen her like this.
